Terms of Use

Terms of Use

Welcome to Opower ("Opower," "we," or "us")! We provide the website located at opower.com (the "Site"), as well as a number of related websites and services (collectively, the "Services"), to our users. The following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use") form a binding agreement between You and us, and govern Your use of the Sites and the Services. We partner with utility companies and certain companies that utilities work with (each, a "Utility") to promote energy efficiency to the Utility's customers. We provide our users (collectively, "You" or "Your"), many of whom are Utility customers, with the Sites and Services, which include resources and information about energy efficiency. Please note, however, that the Services governed by these Terms of Use do not include Utility Services (defined below), which are governed by separate terms.

In addition to the Services we provide directly to You, we may also serve as a service provider for certain Utilities via a number of different Web sites and/or subdomains, through which those Utilities provide certain online and offline services to their end users ("Utility Services"), including collection, use and dissemination of data and information from those end users. These companies have entered into separate written agreements with Opower governing those back-end services provided by Opower. These Terms of Use do not apply to those Utility Services. In each case, it is the Utility providing the Utility Services, not Opower. In those cases, the Utility, not Opower, is responsible for the collection, use and dissemination of any data or personal information provided by, or obtain from, end users of these Utilities and Utility Services, and it is the Utility's terms of use, not these Terms of Use, that will apply with respect to such data and information.

There may be times when we also offer certain services in conjunction with Your Utility through co-branded websites (which are sometimes subdomains of the Site) ("Co-Branded Sites"). These Co-Branded Sites provide services to You by us and Your Utility. Both these Terms of Use and any legal terms of Your Utility will govern Your use of the Co-Branded Sites, and each of our and Your Utility's privacy policy will also govern any information you provide on the Co-Branded Sites.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING THE SITE OR USING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS SITE. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS IN ORDER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, TO CREATE OTHER RECORDS AND TO THE ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND US WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AS FURTHER DETAILED IN SECTION 15.

Opower may, at its sole discretion change, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use at any time on a going-forward basis. It is Your responsibility to check these Terms of Use for changes prior to use of the Site, and in any event Your continued use of the Sites following the posting of changes to these Terms of Use constitutes Your acceptance of any changes. We will notify You of any such material changes by posting notice of the changes on the Site, and/or, in Opower's sole discretion, by email.

USERS.

You may simply browse the Sites (a "Visitor"), or You may become a registered user of the Sites as a Utility customer or an employee of a Utility using the Sites or Services in Your capacity as an employee ("Registered User"). Certain features of the Sites are limited to Registered Users. In the event You join our Sites or otherwise provide us with information on the Sites or Services, You agree to only provide us with true, accurate, current and complete information. If we believe or suspect that Your information is not true, accurate, current or complete, we may deny or terminate Your access to the Sites or Services (or any portion thereof). Visitors are not required to provide us information, but if You do so, You agree that any such information will be true, accurate, current and complete information. Visitors agree not to attempt to access Registered User areas of the Sites.

REGISTRATION.

To become a Registered User, You must register with us on the portion of the Sites designated for customers of Your Utility, at which point You must provide Your name, email address and select a password (Your "Account Credentials"), which You may not transfer to or share with any third parties. We will verify Your registration using certain information including Your name and Utility account number. If someone accesses our Sites or Services using Your Account Credentials, we will rely on those Account Credentials and will assume that it is really You or Your representative who is accessing the Sites and Services. You are solely responsible for any and all use of Your Account Credentials and all activities that occur under or in connection with Your account. Without limiting any rights which we may otherwise have, we reserve the right to take any and all action, as we deem necessary or reasonable, to ensure the security of the Sites and Your Account Credentials, including without limitation terminating Your access to the Sites or Services, changing Your password, or requesting additional information to authorize activities related to Your registration. In no event and under no circumstances will Opower be held liable to You for any liabilities or damages resulting from or arising out of (i) any action or inaction of Opower under this provision, (ii) any compromise of the confidentiality of Your Account Credentials, and (iii) any unauthorized access to or use of Your Account Credentials. Please notify us immediately at info@opower.com if You become aware that Your Account Credentials are being used without authorization.

You understand and acknowledge that the software, code, proprietary methods and systems used to provide the Sites or Services ("Our Technology") are: (i) copyrighted by us and/or our licensors under United States and international copyright laws; (ii) subject to other intellectual property and proprietary rights and laws; and (iii) owned by us or our licensors.

You must abide by all copyright notices, information, or restrictions contained in or attached to any of Our Technology. Nothing in these Terms of Use grants You any right to receive delivery of a copy of Our Technology or to obtain access to Our Technology except as generally and ordinarily permitted through the Sites according to these Terms of Use. Furthermore, nothing in these Terms of Use will be deemed to grant, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, a license to Our Technology.

As between You and us, You retain ownership and any intellectual property rights in any copyrighted materials that are contained in Your Content. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, fully sublicenseable, worldwide license, under any and all of Your copyright and other intellectual property rights related to Your Content, to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and perform, prepare derivative works of, incorporate into other works, and otherwise use Your Content. You agree that any of Your Content or any derivative works thereof may be disseminated, distributed, publicly displayed, reproduced, used, sublicensed, posted, or published by us, and searched, displayed, printed or otherwise used or exploited by our customers, except that information You submit directly to us relating to Your interest in a job opening with Opower will be used and disclosed in accordance with our Privacy Statement. You represent and warrant that Your Content will not:

Though we strive to enforce these rules with all of our users, You may be exposed through the Sites or Services to Content that violates our policies or is otherwise offensive. You access the Sites and Services at Your own risk. We may, but are not obligated to, remove Content from the Sites for any reason, including if we determine or suspect that such Content violates these Terms of Use. We are merely acting as a passive conduit for such distribution and we take no responsibility for Your exposure to Content on the Sites or through the Services whether it violates our content policies or not. Our discussion forums may be public (or, at a minimum, available to fellow Utility customers), so others may read Your question or comments. Please respect the confidentiality of others.

GENERAL RULES OF USER CONDUCT.

It is our goal to make access to our Sites and Services a good experience for all of our users. You agree not to, and represent and warrant that You will not:

PRIVACY.

We know that Your privacy is important. For this reason, we have created a privacy policy (the "Privacy Statement") that describes our collection, use and disclosure practices regarding any personal information that You provide to us. The security of Your personal information is important to us. While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, we will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of Your personal information. However, You understand and agree that such steps do not guarantee that the Sites and the Services are invulnerable to all security breaches or immune from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities. Opower reserves the right to cooperate with local, state, provincial and national authorities in investigations of improper or unlawful activities and this may require the disclosure of Your personal information. We may also report to other organizations about improper or unlawful user activities and this reporting may include disclosure of personal information relating to those individuals conducting such improper or unlawful activities.

As we detail in our Privacy Statement, we may also collect information with or on behalf of Your Utility, including on Co-Branded Sites, in which case You acknowledge and agree that such information will be considered to be collected by both us and Your Utility. While this Privacy Statement governs our use and disclosure of that information, You should be aware that Your Utility may have different practices, and all such information may be used and disclosed by Your Utility in accordance with their own privacy policy. While we do not actively provide Your Personal Information to Your Utility, Your Utility may have access to any information collected on a Co-Branded Sites through its customer service center. We encourage you to review Your Utility's privacy practices.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE OR SERVICES.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Sites or Services with or without notice to You. We will not be liable to You or any third party should we exercise our right to modify or discontinue the Sites and/or Services. If You object to any such changes, Your sole recourse will be to cease access to the Sites or Services. Continued access to the Sites or Services following notice of any such changes will indicate Your acknowledgement of such changes and satisfaction with the Sites or Services as so modified. You agree that we, in our sole discretion, may immediately terminate Your access to the Sites and Services at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion. Please note that if Your access to the Sites and Services is through your employer, your access will be terminated upon Your employer communicating to us that You are no longer an employee of such employer. YOU AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCESS TO THE SITE OR SERVICES.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF, KNEW OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO, OR THE INABILITY TO USE OR TO ACCESS, THE SITE OR THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), WARRANTY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE.

GENERAL TERMS.

The paragraph headings in these Terms of Use, shown in boldface type, are included only to help make these Terms of Use easier to read and have no binding effect. Any delay or failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by us will have effect unless such waiver is set forth in writing, signed by us; nor will any such waiver of any breach or default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. These Terms of Use constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between You and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or written understandings, communications or agreements. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Use, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the Terms of Use will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
